From the Empordà

Our story

A beer born from friendship, from the land and from patience.

Chapter one

Two friends and plenty of malt

It all started with two friends from the Empordà and the idea that good beer takes time. That shared hobby gave birth to No t'enfadis — Catalan for “don't get upset”.

We brew our beer at Rufa Cervesera de l'Empordà in Figueres, the only brewery in the county.

“No t'enfadis” means exactly that: a reminder that when things don't work out first time, it's better to take a breath, tweak the recipe and try again.

Chapter two

The land

The Alt Empordà shapes our character. The tramontana wind clears the sky and stirs the fields, and Figueres gives us the restless, slightly mad spirit we like to put into every bottle and every can.

We work with what's close to home so that every beer tells you where it comes from: the wind, the land and the people of this corner of Catalonia.

The process

  1. Step 1

    Ingredients

    Water, malt, hops and yeast. We choose every raw material carefully and locally.

  2. Step 2

    Brewing

    Slow mashing and boiling to draw out the sugars and the hop aromas.

  3. Step 3

    Fermentation

    The yeast works its magic for weeks. This is where each beer finds its character.

  4. Step 4

    Packaging

    We bottle, can and label every batch with care.
